Chef Mickey's and Hollywood Studios

As soon as we scheduled our trip, I began making plans and securing reservations for our week. Top on the list - a character breakfast. We had been to Chef Mickey's before and loved it so we decided that our first official Disney stop would be breakfast with Mickey at the Contemporary hotel.

We left our hotel and hopped on the monorail to travel to the breakfast. Who would have known that would be such a highlight! The kids LOVED the monorail. We probably could have ridden it all day, never gone into a park, and Jackson would have been just as happy!





First Bender Family Picture of the week - Jackson's first trip on the Monorail



You could definitely see our group coming - four adults and three two-year-olds! It was a blast!


We were in our own car on the monorail and the kids loved playing on the seats.


Here I am showing Jackson the water outside the Magic Kingdom.





Breakfast at Chef Mickey's



Jackson and his Daddy


At first, Jackson was not a fan of the characters. Here he is climbing Wesley when Goofy came by.



He warmed up a little to Mickey and Donald...



Wesley and Todd had no trouble posing for a picture with Minnie!



Soon the kids realized they could play in the window seat. Once this party started we gave up hope on getting more pictures with the characters. They were having too much fun.


It didn't take long for Jackson and Tucker to start dancing!




After breakfast, we headed over to Hollywood Studios. Our first stop was the Baby Center where I stripped Jackson down to his diaper and covered him in sun screen! It was so hot outside and I didn’t want a sunburn the first day out.

We had an action packed afternoon watching shows, riding a few rides and taking in a parade. We finished off the evening with a firework/water show called Fantasmic. It was a great day one!



Jackson and Wesley with Handy Manny.



The Playhouse Disney show was one of Jackson's favorites.


The Benders with Lightening McQueen and Mator

Waiting for the parade





It was so hot!!






Best seat in the house.



After the parade, Jackson dozed off...though Wesley is just posing here, I bet he could have gone to sleep too!



Chowing down on his favorite Disney treat - A turkey leg!
